Committed to promoting responsible stewardship of our natural resources, we have demonstrated continual improvement in our use of materials and resources. As a result we are one of only a handful of churches to achieve a second Eco-Congregation award.
- Installation of cycle racks a wildlife garden
- Ground source heating
- New tea and coffee systems within the church using Fairtrade products
- Hosted a successful Fairtrade Breakfast
- Eco tips and news
All these factors have contributed to the Church gaining this award.
BLISTER PACK COLLECTION FOR RECYCLING
This campaign has been a great success and will have saved thousands of blister packs from going into the ground.
- Please note that we are not able to collect blister packs in St Catherine’s for the foreseeable future.
- Please take your empty pill packets and put them in the box in Boots Chemist in Castle Street.
* But please don’t give up! *
What is an Eco Church?
The Eco Church survey provides a framework to support your church and its leadership to take practical action on caring for God’s earth. The survey covers five key areas of church life:
- Worship and teaching
- Buildings and energy
- Land and nature
- Community and global engagement
- Lifestyle
Our repsonses to the Echo Church Survey in 2016 showed that we had achieved Gold Standard!
